"At Bolton (The White Doe of Rylstone)" is a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Inchbold, completed in 1854. The artwork is notable for its detailed depiction of the landscape around Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire and its incorporation of the mythical white doe from the poem "The White Doe of Rylstone" by William Wordsworth. The poem, published in 1815, was inspired by a local legend and tells the story of the Norton family during the Rising of the North in 1569, focusing on the emblematic white doe that visits the grave of the Nortons' daughter, Emily.

Inchbold, born in 1830, was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 who aimed to reform art by rejecting what they considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. They believed in a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

The painting "At Bolton (The White Doe of Rylstone)" exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite style through its vivid colors, meticulous attention to naturalistic detail, and romantic subject matter. Inchbold's work often reflected his interest in nature and the British landscape, and this painting is no exception. It captures the serene beauty of the Yorkshire countryside while also evoking the poignant narrative of the white doe, which symbolizes innocence and loyalty.

Inchbold's painting is a testament to the enduring influence of literary themes in visual art and the Pre-Raphaelite commitment to combining historical and poetic narratives with a keen observation of the natural world. The artwork is held in high regard for its technical precision and its ability to convey a sense of the sublime in the everyday landscape, a quality that aligns with the broader objectives of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

"At Bolton (The White Doe of Rylstone)" remains an important work within the oeuvre of John William Inchbold and the Pre-Raphaelite canon, offering insight into the mid-19th-century artistic milieu in Britain and the interplay between literature and visual arts during the Victorian era.
